Bill > HB1049

This bill adds new sections to the Washington state laws to regulate the use of unmanned aircraft. It makes it unlawful to launch an unmanned aircraft without specific federal authorization, unless it is clearly labeled with the owner and operator's information. It also prohibits operating an unmanned aircraft over private property without the consent of the owner or occupant, with exceptions for lawful landings at airports. Violations are subject to civil infractions. The bill also allows property owners to bring civil trespass actions against unauthorized operators of unmanned aircraft over their property, with the ability to recover damages or seek injunctive relief.
